The architecture I chose for this module discussion is Tear of Greif created by a Russian architect, Zurab Tsereteli. Zurab Tsereteli was born in Tbilisi to an engineer and a house wife. Tsereteli’s uncle was a famous painter and routinely brought his artists friends to the upcoming architect house. These gentleman and women were the first mentors youthful Tseretilis had in the subject of art. Following high school graduation, he was enrolled in the Tbilisi Arts Academy. During his time at the academy, he produced a wide range of pieces and after his graduation in 1958, Zurab became interested in architecture and was associated with architectural designs in Georgia. (russiapedia.rt.com). It was the fifth anniversary of the September 11 attacks, Tsereteli created his sculpture dedicated to the ones who lost their life that day. The Tear of Grief located in Bayonne, New Jersey, stands on a water front with skyscrapers of Manhattan located far in the distance. This location was chosen because it “was an arrival …show more content…
Both monuments stand as a memorial site for the victims of the September 11 attacks. Comparable to the Tear of Greif, this monument is also etched with the casualty’s names. The 9/11 Memorial Plaza is an American flag waving and alerting into a flame at the tip. It was designed by Eliezer Weishoff and opened on November 12, 2009, over eight years from the date of the incident (en.wikipedia.org).
This specific piece of work can be applied to the memory and history social angle. Tear of Grief Is one of the numerous monuments standing around the globe to remember the lives lost during the September 11 attacks. Each victims name engraved in the sculpture reminds us of the innocent lives who were taken that day and how fast a life can be taken away. 9/11 is a prime topic in history classes and will continued to be remembered today, tomorrow, and
On April 15, 2013, Boston’s first attack on public citizens, in a long time. During this attack 3 civilians were killed and later on there was an officer shot by the suspect. There was also 264 people who were wounded during this time as well. All this was caused by two bombs that went off on Boylston Street each at different parts of the street. This was known as the Boston Bombing. Hello I’m Cameron Smith, our country has many monuments and memorials, all dedicated to people or events that would never be forgotten in America's history. On the dated listed above the Boston Bombing happened, which affected many people who lived in America. This is why I am proposing a new monument to honor all those people who risked their lives to go save others who, were injured. This monument would also honor those who lost their lives during this tragic accident. This monument would be built in Boston, near where the bombs went off.
9/11 plays a big role in American history. It commemorates a date for those affected by this traumatic event. Many can still remember the day, just as if it was yesterday – what they were doing and where they were. The vast majority of our sophomore class had not even been born, or old enough to recall this event. This date in American history unified us as a country.
Smoke and dust everywhere, people running in and out of the world trade centers some people not making it at all. September 11, 2001 was a day that America will never forget, terrorists hijacked two planes specifically and used them as as missile to launch into the world trade centers. In the photo, the flag functions as a symbol for the idea that America will not be defeated.
The 911 memorial is a very thought-provoking place to visit, along with many other places in New York. It makes you want to think about what the people have been through. If they survived the attacks, or if they were sadly one of the many who died. Almost 10,000 people visit the site each day. I have never been the the memorial but I have read that people say it is “breathtaking”. If you ever visit New York, this should be on your to-do list.
September 11th, 2001, known to be one of the most important days in our nation’s history. Located in New York City, is a monument that has two large pools with names engraved of the people killed that day, symbolising a memory we will never forget. This monument was established on September 11th, 2011, with more than 10,000 visitors every day. If you go to New York City, visit this monument, especially if you knew someone in the attack.
Visit the principal memorial and museum that commemorate the terrorist attack of 9/11, when almost 3000 people lost their lives, and the 1993 bombing, when 6 people were killed. The National September 11 Memorial & Museum is situated at the World Trade Centre site, the former location of the Twin Towers, which were destroyed during the terror attacks of September 11.
On May 2014, The National September 11 Memorial Museum opened. It remembers and honors the almost 3,00 men, women and children that perished in the 2001, 1993 attacks. This museum is one hundred and ten thousand square feet and located seventy feet below ground. It houses poignant educational exhibits, which explore the events leading up to the attacks.The memorial exhibit preserves and honors the memory of the victims who died. It is located at the World Trade Center. It is filled with history, holding 500 hours of film and video, 23,00 photos and 10,000+ artifacts. It stands to say that the world should "never forget" what should never happen again.
Another main feature of the 9/11 memorial would be the Survivor Tree. This tree was found after the bombing barely salvageable with visible scarring. However the tree survived, planted, in which new spurts of branches were able to grow back and deemed its name “The Survivor Tree” in order to signify the fortitude, endurance and revitalization of a nation that endured great damage to its nation “largest loss of life resulting from a foreign attack on American soil and the greatest single loss of rescue personnel in American history.” (9/11 Memorial & Museum)
The event 9l11 is like a story but it’s like you see the workers that worked in the building. After 9/11 there was 1113 people dead but scientist found bones of the dead people and they did a DNA test. During the attack fire fighters were in one of the buildings and all of them in the building died and after the attack some objects during the attack were moved down to ground 0. In the museum there is still panels to the main exhibit. In the museum there are very big objects and one object is a elevator motor to one of the buildings. Some objects tell you about 9/11,The Twin Towers,and Washington D.C. After the event the people can love their loved one’s that died. On the museum there is a van that says quotation from virgil: nothing will erase
Here are some pictures that may help you remember the devastating event of 9/11. I put the twin towers to show how they were destroyed. I chose the people to show the tragedy of all the people that died that day. I personally think we should never forget this event.
A lot of people go the Memorial to remember their lost ones. At least 18 people were rescued alive from the rubble of the twin towers after 9/11. The 9/11 attack also destroyed US$100 million in art including work from Pablo
For example, if you wanted to portray a soldier’s courage and strength through a statue, you may not want to build a 5 foot tall, flimsy aluminum statue of a smiling soldier with open arms, ready to embrace a hug. The significance of a monumental purpose was highlighted in Christine Musser’s “Preserving Memory: National Holocaust Memorial Museum
For the purpose of this assignment I interviewed someone from a military family, as I wanted to understand what loss and grief entails or looks like from a military perspective. When I asked my friend if I could interview her for an ethnograph in relation to loss and grief, she said that the loss of her father and brother were two of the most devastating losses she has experienced; mostly due to the suppression of emotion that widely characterizes military culture. There is a spirit of stoicism that is indoctrinated and woven into every fiber of military life, including loss and grief. Throughout this paper I will refer to my friend by the pseudonym Allie.
Flight 93’s pilots and passengers were both courageous and brave, and so in commemoration of them, the Flight 93 National Memorial was fabricated. The Wall of Names, a long stone wall with the names of all the people on the flight, is one of many amazing memorials at the site. The visitor and learning center are good places to learn more about the attack. There is also a walkway around the crash site, with nooks and crannies in the wall to leave tributes, and to commemorate the fallen heroes of flight 93 in 2001, when the passengers and pilots risked their lives to save others.
Art lives through time, and among the criteria of what constitutes the “best” in Art is that it refuses to be forgotten. Da Vinci 's “Mona Lisa”, Van Gogh’s “Starry Night”, or even Campbell’s Soup Cans by Warhol have not, as of yet, been forgotten. Much like memorials, which are made with the intention of living through time by depicting a singular, particular moment of history. Art aims to be remembered, not forgotten. But memorials, unlike art, tend to commemorate horrific events, tragedies, and losses almost exclusively. Consider the USS Arizona Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial,
